1Therefore, since Christ
suffered in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same attitude (for
whoever suffers in the flesh has broken with sin),

2so as not to spend what remains of one’s life in the flesh on human desires, but on the will of God.

3For the time that has
passed is sufficient for doing what the Gentiles like to do: living in
debauchery, evil desires, drunkenness, orgies, carousing, and wanton
idolatry.

4They are surprised that you do not plunge into the same swamp of profligacy, and they vilify you;

5but they will give an account to him who stands ready to judge the living and the dead.

6For
this is why the gospel was preached even to the dead that, though
condemned in the flesh in human estimation, they might live in the
spirit in the estimation of God.

ColossiansChapter 3:5-17 Renunciation of Vice

5Put
to death, then, the parts of you that are earthly: immorality,
impurity, passion, evil desire, and the greed that is idolatry.

6Because of these the wrath of God is coming [upon the disobedient].

7By these you too once conducted yourselves, when you lived in that way. 8But now you must put them all away: anger, fury, malice, slander, and obscene language out of your mouths. 9Stop lying to one another, since you have taken off the old self with its practices

10 and have put on the new self, which is being renewed, for knowledge, in the image of its creator.

11Here
there is not Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, barbarian,
Scythian, slave, free; but Christ is all and in all.

13bearing with one another
and forgiving one another, if one has a grievance against another; as
the Lord has forgiven you, so must you also do.

14And over all these put on love, that is, the bond of perfection.

15And let the peace of Christ control your hearts, the peace into which you were also called in one body. And be thankful.

16Let the word of Christ
dwell in you richly, as in all wisdom you teach and admonish one
another, singing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs with gratitude in
your hearts to God.

17And whatever you do, in
word or in deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving
thanks to God the Father through him.

RomansChapter 13:1-7 Obedience in Authority

1Let every person be
subordinate to the higher authorities, for there is no authority except
from God, and those that exist have been established by God.

2Therefore, whoever resists
authority opposes what God has appointed, and those who oppose it will
bring judgment upon themselves. 3For rulers are
not a cause of fear to good conduct, but to evil. Do you wish to have no
fear of authority? Then do what is good and you will receive approval
from it, 4for it is a servant of God
for your good. But if you do evil, be afraid, for it does not bear the
sword without purpose; it is the servant of God to inflict wrath on the
evildoer.

5Therefore, it is necessary to be subject not only because of the wrath but also because of conscience.

6This is why you also pay taxes, for the authorities are ministers of God, devoting themselves to this very thing. 7Pay to all their dues,
taxes to whom taxes are due, toll to whom toll is due, respect to whom
respect is due, honor to whom honor is due.

LukeChapter 13:1-5 A Call to Repentance

1At that time some people who were present there told him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate* had mingled with the blood of their sacrifices.

2He said to them in reply,
“Do you think that because these Galileans suffered in this way they
were greater sinners than all other Galileans?

3By no means! But I tell you, if you do not repent, you will all perish as they did!

4Or
those eighteen people who were killed when the tower at Siloam fell on
them—do you think they were more guilty than everyone else who lived in
Jerusalem?

5By no means! But I tell you, if you do not repent, you will all perish as they did!”

MatthewChapter 21:28-32 The Parable of the Two Sons

28“What is your opinion? A man had two sons. He came to the first and said, ‘Son, go out and work in the vineyard today.’

29He said in reply, ‘I will not,’ but afterwards he changed his mind and went.

30The man came to the other son and gave the same order. He said in reply, ‘Yes, sir,’ but did not go.

31
Which of the two did his father’s will?” They answered, “The first.”
Jesus said to them, “Amen, I say to you, tax collectors and prostitutes
are entering the kingdom of God before you.

32
When John came to you in the way of righteousness, you did not believe
him; but tax collectors and prostitutes did. Yet even when you saw that,
you did not later change your minds and believe him.

MatthewChapter 12:33-37 A Tree and Its Fruits

33 “Either declare* the tree good and its fruit is good, or declare the tree rotten and its fruit is rotten, for a tree is known by its fruit.

34 You brood of vipers, how can you say good things when you are evil? For from the fullness of the heart the mouth speaks. 35A good person brings forth good out of a store of goodness, but an evil person brings forth evil out of a store of evil. 36 I tell you, on the day of judgment people will render an account for every careless word they speak. 37By your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned.
